It should be noted that today the alternative Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) transportation form has potential to match the LNG transportation form for shorter routes. Is now being investigated, but has so far not yet been materialised in a ship, even though there are some projects with CNG carriers.

A draft report (Recommendations for Mid-Stream Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Refueling of Towing Vessels) was posted for distribution on the USCG Homeport web site on September 16, 2014 to allow further subcommittee review and provide public access.
